Question 1
With Grosjean and Perez both claiming spots on the podium this weekend do you believe that they are the best of the new crop of the young drivers?
@multicooldude34: Yes, Perez and Grosjean have been very impressive, and Maldonado and Kobayashi have been impressive too. Maldonado has been inconsistent, while Kobayashi has been good, but never really delivered, likewise with fellow young drivers Senna and Di Resta, so it is fair to say that Grosjean and Perez are the best young drivers at the moment.
@JoshBohnF1 : Yes both very quick and have a lot of potential. I'm certain that they will both win races at some point in their career.
@Alonsomanso : Perez and Grosejan are till now the best of this generation , if we make a match up between Sergio and Romain, Sergio wins that match up, but i have to admit one thing Romain shut my mouth when score that podium in Canada.
@ChrisJ_F1 : Perez has proved to be a worthy replacement for Massa at Ferrari. He offers aggression and pace in a unique blend. I hope to see him at a front running team within the next few seasons. As for Grosjean I think its early days, he has made some silly errors but he has also hauled a large amount of points.
@EmTheEmu : Up to now definitely, but I don't think Daniel Ricciardo, Jean-Eric Vergne or Charles Pic have the cars to be able to prove themselves properly. For all we know they could be great.
@BenF1_ : I think Perez is definitely a special talent, two podiums already this year, and he's so soft on his tyres, he's got a big future ahead of him. Grosjean however, although I believe he has the raw pace to be a star of the future, his decision making has been poor at times. Maybe it will eventually come with experience, but he's making similar mistakes to what he did in 2009. Plus, I don't think Raikkonen is actually up to pace yet, despite his impressive podium in Bahrain.

question 2 as suggested by domcovkid
Why, if Lewis Hamilton is repeatedly consistent with the McLaren has Jenson Button been so poor in recent races when they both have the same car?
@simpson_tweets: I think Jenson over thinks the car and spends too much time in trying to get the "perfect" set-up ....and if the car is not to his liking set-up wise he becomes frustrated where Lewis will drive around any issues and drives the wheels off the car not unlike Alonso.
@DarshanChokhani : This is somewhat same with Alonso & Massa, Rosberg & Schumacher. I think it's just that nothing is clicking right for Button at the moment, he is going through a rough patch which may hurt McLaren.
@SomersF1 : The disparity between the performances of Lewis and Jenson of recent races I feel can be attributed to the changes employed by McLaren to the higher nose design. McLaren are chasing a numbers game whereby the Higher nose represents a gain in the wind tunnel / CFD & Simulator but for Jenson may be causing his issues on track. The higher nose allows more air under the car and robs the front of an element of downforce. This will lead to the driver needing to over drive the front end in order to get the appropriate amount of heat in the tyres. Lewis' more aggressive driving style may enable him to him manage this tyre situation better than Jenson who will firstly lose temperature/pressure in the front tyres and this compounds the rear issues. Perhaps McLaren should evaluate splitting strategy and putting the lower nose back on for Jenson unless further upgrades will eleviate these issues.

question 3
Sky Viewers- What did you make of Jacques Villeneuve working for SKY this weekend?
@icywingsuk : I actually quite liked Jacques' straight to the point commentary. He has always told it how it is, and in a sport that is often governed by sponsor pleasing political correctness, it is good to have some people on the inside who are still prepared to tell it the way they see it.
@Donz358 : Jacques is always controversial so it was entertaining. I prefer Damon Hill & Johnny Herbert but it’s nice to see more ex F1 drivers get involved in the coverage. I missed the BBC highlights so will be interested to hear what everyone thought about Lee McKenzie’s coverage.
@homeofspinup : Watched both this weekend and think Jacques did a great job - very knowledgeable and articulate and the Canadian race is obviously very special for him.
@MarussiaF1Will : I thought he was really good, liked his insight and worked well with the team. Would love to see him at other grand prixs in the near future.
@NigelBeechey: Not impressed with Jacques. I dont think we'll see much of him -mutual I'd imagine- so I'm not too fussed. Too arrogant for me.
BBC Viewers- With Jake off hosting the Euro's how did you feel that Lee Mckenzie did with presenting the highlights?
@NigelBeechey : No problem with Leigh but disappointed Jake is doing *yawns Football..
@homeofspinup : Lee also did a good job - must be very hard to step into someone else's shoes for a few shows and she carried it off very well.

Bonus
Who would you have liked to see join Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber in the river after the grand prix?
@TheCrazyCaptain : ... Natalie Pinkham, I don't think I need to explain why...
@RobLMyers : Instead of a 'who', I'll give you a 'what' - the HRTs! The team may as well dump their cars in the river - it might even help them cool down their brakes!
@TheSixYearItch : Gotta be Brundle with his replacement iPhone (£500 worth of repairs martin? Just buy a new one!)
